TLDR
In patients with NAFLD, CAP values should always be taken into account in order to avoid overestimations of liver fibrosis assessed by transient elastography.

Steatosis severity affects the diagnostic performances of noninvasive fibrosis tests in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

TL;DR: The diagnostic performances of noninvasive fibrosis tests in predicting advanced fibrosis among patients with NAFLD are compared and the effects of the subgroups on their diagnostic performances are examined.

A Critical Appraisal of the Use of Ultrasound in Hepatic Steatosis

TL;DR: This review highlights the recent developments in the use of ultrasound-based techniques in NAFLD and their performance in predicting metabolic derangements, cardiovascular risk, and progression of liver disease, notably including diagnosis of fibrosing NASH, identification, and treatment of HCC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Liver stiffness does not affect ultrasound-guided attenuation coefficient measurement in the evaluation of hepatic steatosis.

TL;DR: This work investigated whether fibrosis identified by hepatic stiffness measurements based on magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) affects attenuation coefficient measurement using UGAP for the evaluation of hepatic steatosis.

Global epidemiology of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease—Meta‐analytic assessment of prevalence, incidence, and outcomes

TL;DR: As the global epidemic of obesity fuels metabolic conditions, the clinical and economic burden of NAFLD will become enormous, and random‐effects models were used to provide point estimates of prevalence, incidence, mortality and incidence rate ratios.

EASL-EASD-EASO Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

TL;DR: The final purpose is to improve patient care and awareness of the importance of NAFLD, and to assist stakeholders in the decision-making process by providing evidence-based data, which also takes into consideration the burden of clinical management for the healthcare system.

The NAFLD fibrosis score: A noninvasive system that identifies liver fibrosis in patients with NAFLD

TL;DR: A simple scoring system accurately separates patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with and without advanced fibrosis, rendering liver biopsy for identification ofAdvanced fibrosis unnecessary in a substantial proportion of patients.
